DPF Cleaning

What's a DPF? Why does it create issues?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a small device that has been fitted to most diesel vehicles since 2009. It's designed to trap harmful particulates before they have a chance to escape into the atmosphere. The sooty particulates are then superheated and burned off during the DPF’s regeneration cycle.

A DPF typically however needs the ideal conditions to complete its cleaning cycle - and if it doesn’t get these eventually clogs up and stops working.

Can my DPF be maintained & cleaned?

BG are 50-year engine cleaning specialists
​In-situ tool cleans DPF AND removes carbon
Proven to reduce DPF soot build-up back to zero
BG have proven DPF solutions. Annual preventative maintenance with BG Products' high quality chemistry will significantly reduce any deposit build-up, keep your engine running efficiently and produce less particulate matter.

How effective is the BG solution?
Not all DPF-cleaning solutions are the same. BG are carbon-cleaning specialists and spent four years developing an effective chemical solution. Industry expert Frank Massey tested BG's DPF & Emissions System Service and achieved a 90% soot reduction (see his own Pico pressure readings below)
